A role for unsaturated fatty acids in mitochondrial movement and inheritance.

Abstract excerpt

Yeast cells with the mdm2 mutation display temperature-sensitive growth and defective intracellular mitochondrial movement at the non-permissive temperature. The latter phenotype includes both an absence of mitochondrial transfer into daughter buds of mitotically growing cells and an aberrant mit...
